you gonna have to make as many CSS as you have list items, if the list is not fixed, you have to use script to find that elemnt ---

ok. I understand. I was also wondering if I am able to set an image in a list as its background? I’ll attach an image… I was wondering if I could set whatever that image is to the background. Is there some piece of code like… [data-test=“list-item”] .imageStyle { } ![Screen Shot 2022-03-12 at 10.03.23 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/9/b94573bd53e915b36ad3683f79ef4d9045b48e3f.png) ---

yes, image or color, it is a similar process… but you can use tiles list for that ---

Is there anything I can do to resize/change the image? I’d like to make it just a bit bigger and shift it a bit to the left. ---

I looked at the book, but couldn’t find anything on resizing the image - maybe I just can’t find the right post. ---

Back to the nth child thing - what would the code look like using @ThinhDinh 's example if I wanted to turn the background of the second item green? I know for a list in HTML you can use li: nth-child(2n){} to target every other item, but am not sure how it applies here. ---

I think each item has a dynamic title name attached to it, so you don’t have to use the nth-child approach for this. I’ll get an example for you when I have time. ---
